Now this post is coming shamefully after the fact, this is simply due to a temporary loss of speech induced by the awesomeness of the place. When I saw the treetop huts in the hostel catalog I was immediately fascinated, and booked a weekend in easter. The place is just north of Hamar, but not […]

Ancient crafts
Curious things to do with cardboard and paper clips (Note the interested onlooker under the table) So, this weave is just a bunch of cardboard pieces with holes in the corners. Make your own with some coasters and a puncher. The whole setup looks like a cobweb to start; however, follow the instructions and beautiful […]

Number 13
As I was skimming through an article while waiting for my friend at a brown-ish cafe today, an elderly man approached me real close, tried to catch my eye and started reciting poetry in a calm, comforting voice. It was a gray, sobering text about the struggles of the working people in a time not […]

Welcome to my institute
Welcome to the building where I’ve spent most of my days lately. Oddities abound, and I decided to take you here and show you around before I get so accustomed I do not notice them anymore. The first thing that meets you inside is this guy and this guy. The foyer is full of dead […]

Report from Full City
The South Norwegian coastline is one of the most wondrous places I know. The latest Ice Age did a good job on it, neatly polishing the bedrock into friendly rounds that get nice and warm in the sun. Due to straight-edged protectionism much of it is still public although strong financial forces call for privatization. […]

The Westerlands
I went west. Life was peaceful there. Crammed between staggering mountains, the sea way down there and more mountains so close you can throw a rock across the fjord, is an itty bitty cabin full of wonderful artefacts gathered by sailors in distant havens, truly impressive artwork created during long hours of hiding during the […]

What now, Murmeldyr?
Lately I have engaged in very mundane activities, such as planning on Interrail for summer (there will be a separate post. In the meantime, please comment if you are interested in backpacking throughout Europe some 3 weeks in July), repeatedly informing rabbits keyboard cords are not edible (another reason for the offlineness but a very […]

Bunnyhouse
I promised to write only about important, essential things, no personal jabjab that makes some blogs so tideous. Rabbits are important. My place is now a bunnyplace. I didn’t realise how much I’ve been missing companion animals. How calming it is to work in the home-office to the eager sounds of rabbits busily minding their […]

The dangerous indifferency
I turn on the news. I can’t watch and turn off again. I turn it back on, it’s too important, too big to be ignorant about. I’m of course talking about the war on the edge of Europe. This is no political blog, but I can’t hold my peace on this. But instead of commenting […]

St. Andrew’s céilidh
In the rest of the world, November 30 is known as All Saints’ Day. Here it is devoted to one saint alone, how gracious. St. Andrew was a holy man who lived everywhere else than in Scotland, but after his death another holy guy named St. Rule had a dream saying Andrew’s remains were to be […]
